| Alternatively this could be fixed by moving the script gsl-config from
| package libgsl-dev to libgsl2. Since you are the maintainer of both
I am wondering if it was in lbgsl0 before the move to 'gsl2'. I should check
that.
But the idea of relying on gsl-config is to compile against GSL from R, so I
think we need the -dev package either way.
I guess I'll make a quick fix.
